   Not a typo, 'iff' is used (especially by mathematicians) to
   mean 'if and only if'.


i considered this.  but the wording doesn't support it.  ie, i wouldn't
say "you don't want the X IFF Y" but "you don't want X IFF Y".  also,
i'm used to IFF being capitalised.

also, it's simply wrong.  people can choose when to use the option, but
there is one case were you *shouldn't*.
